Zhang Youxia’s relentless purge of Xi Jinping’s loyalists in the military has now extended to the PLA Navy and Air Force.

The most dramatic development is the second purge of the Rocket Force. This strategic branch of the PLA may have undergone its second cleansing in just two years—but this time, Xi Jinping wasn’t the one behind it.

Made in China 2025, launched in 2015, aimed to transform China’s manufacturing sector. By 2025, only two of twelve systemic metrics—broadband penetration and manufacturing quality—were achieved, with green development goals significantly unmet. Among ten key industries, power equipment and advanced rail transport exceeded expectations, driven by solar and high-speed rail advancements. Automotive and information technology sectors showed mixed results, with electric vehicles thriving but traditional cars and industrial software lagging. Aerospace, high-end medical devices, and industrial robots fell short, heavily reliant on foreign technology. While the initiative reduced foreign dependency, benefiting the Communist Party’s strategic goals, it failed to improve living standards, with overcapacity in solar and electric vehicles draining resources. Made in China 2025 has not driven industrial transformation, leaving low-end manufacturing dominant and exacerbating economic challenges, offering symbolic victories but little tangible benefit for the Chinese people.Narration Body:0:00 Intro 0:34:16 The Grand Vision Unveiled1:18:17 Falling Short of Systemic Goals2:14:16 Industries in the Spotlight2:39:03 Shining Stars of Success4:53:11 The Mixed Bag of Automotive and Tech9:30:08 The Aerospace and Medical Disappointments14:16:16 A Mixed Scorecard15:08:16 Beyond the Numbers: A Tool, Not a Goal15:51:19 Two Visions of Victory16:58:14 The Party’s Strategic Triumph18:18:11 A Dream Deferred for the People
